http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=28<i>Coffee marathon</i>
<p>Had a great time at the festival here. Watched <a href="http://www.earache.com/Artists/MLC/BioMlc.html" >Misery Loves C:o</a>, the heaviest band that played
here. God damn, that was a great concert. Overall, I was walking around pretty drunk most of the time,
just enjoying the music.
<p> <p>Started operation Clean This Mess Up today. Looks pretty good so far. Will spend the night coding, mostly.
Twiddly - there's enough coffee for you too.Tue, 25 Jul 2000 07:12:11 GMT25 Jul 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=27
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=27<i>Bug spraying and Great Lake Festival</i>
<p>Spended sunday night and monday evening fixing bugs and designing suggested features for CoolCloset.
Have
finally reached zarro bugs. I will probably fix a dozen more when I implement the missing functionality for having a
completely usable engine. Also, as at least two of you tester noticed - speed is not really my main direction right
now, will implement a better file contents caching system later.
<p> <p>Preparing for the <a href="http://www.storsjoyran.se/info/inenglish.htm" >Great Lake Festival</a>
(Storsjöyran),
which is basically a week of party. As you might have guessed - no code will be written in my free time during
these days. I have filled my fridge with beer and booze.
<p> <p>On a different note: why can't you americans make beer that tastes good? Really strange - great burgers, a
whopping economy, but not a single damn beer that doesn't taste like something made from horse piss.Sun, 16 Jul 2000 15:32:47 GMT16 Jul 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=26
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=26<i>Releases and pure C hate</i>
<p> <p>Sent away the "it will hopefully not do funny stuff to your files" release of CoolCloset
to a few selected and brave few. Will spend some time perfecting the current
documentation, correcting small bugs and implementing the currently left out features.
Had to study some old C code and realized how much better the class concept is
compared to the function mess. Could not come up with one reason why people would
prefer pure C over C++. Well, except for that crap about C being faster, but a 1% speed
increase for developing and debugging at least 50% longer...Thu, 13 Jul 2000 18:54:24 GMT13 Jul 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=25
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=25<i>The joy of buying stuff</i>
<p> <p>Woke up today and felt like spending some of my money on
useless stuff that would be neat to have. Started off by
getting an eye examination an trying out lenses (I wear
glasses). At the end of the day, I had bought a corner sofa
made out of genuine leather with six seats. Talk about
impulse buying...
<p> <p>CoolCloset is progressing nicely, my plan to release a
pretty much working version this weekend could actually
become a reality. Thank God for coffee.Sun, 9 Jul 2000 12:19:52 GMT9 Jul 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=24
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=24<i>Coffee brewing, Java brewing and Diablo burning</i>
<p> <p>There is definitively a difference in taste when making coffee in a percolator and in a regular filter brewer. I am
not quite sure about what is responsible for the difference, but there is probably something in the paper filter that
gets transferred into the wonderful black fluid. Coffee from a percolator, which has a metal filter, just tastes better
in
every way I can think of.
<p> <p>Finally managed to beat Diablo 2. This means that next week will be filled with source code creation. My code
does not contain bugs (yeah right), so bug fixing is not an issue right now. With a little luck, I can release a first
test version of CoolCloset next weekend. Oh, joy.

http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=23Been playing this game called Diablo 2 all week. Damn, this game is addictive! Will try to drag myself away from
it
this weekend for some serious Java coding. I have a lot of work to do, actually...
<p> <p>On a totally separate note: there is a vonderful girl living in the swedish town Uddevalla, and her name is
Evelina. If she ever reads this - my heart is with you...Sat, 1 Jul 2000 12:10:22 GMT1 Jul 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=22
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=22Got my copy of Diablo 2 yesterday. Not only that, I also recieved "The art of Programming", three books by
Donald Knuth. Let's just say that there will not be much coding this weekend...Mon, 26 Jun 2000 19:50:27 GMT26 Jun 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=21
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=21Been coding Java both for work and for fun today. My pet project is coming along slow and steady. The first
component, Cool Closet, will be released as soon as it reaches feature-completion and zarro boogs ( ==
close-to-zero bugs, you can never reach zero bugs). All other components will be released as one application,
since there is very little practical use in separating them.Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:42:15 GMT18 Jun 2000http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=20
http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=20If any of the original MFC developers sees this note: a nice, big, warm "fuck you" for
creating such a piece of crap. After working with high-quality GUI classes in both
Borland C++ Builder and Swing (Java), seeing this hairy beast appear is nothing less
than repulsive and/or disgusting.
<p> <p>Been doing some more Java coding. The half-secret project I am planning is
coming along just fine. Funny thing - Java applications are no slower than usual
applications, it's just the startup time that separates them.

http://www.advogato.org/person/czw/diary.html?start=19After some time of non-coding, I have started working on Tebax again. It is now available in both swedish and
english, thanks to a nifty feature found in C++ Builder 5. After polishing that and making some documentation
other
than the source code, a new version could probably be released. This would be the first english version.
<p> <p>My brother is here again. Say no more.
